IT had entered its final stages.
"This story is quite special. It's best to break down each character's arc into small segments of individual encounters with Pennywise. This requires some special handling methods."
"Yes, I need you to have appropriate editing rhythm and setup for each segment to avoid the characters feeling too disjointed."
"First, we must realize this point: we must integrate the rhythms of different storylines. Each time the characters have an encounter, it should make the story's development more complex."
"Approximately how much footage did I shoot? 1122 minutes? Well, that's not too much. I don't want you to just hastily piece together a rough cut. I know many clips will inevitably be deleted, even entire scenes cut. The remaining footage must also be reduced based on the existing story list."
"Editing a film is a marathon, not a sprint. You must maintain emotional and physical consistency in your actions."
"Actually, I was quite concise during shooting, so my post-production has always been very fast."
"How is that achieved? Simple: visual sense. As a director and screenwriter, I always have a nearly complete two-hour visual composite in my head for my films, allowing me to shoot and edit accordingly."
Martin communicated with the editor while imparting his experience to Sofia.
"Color grading is also very important."
"The film's color tone and lighting scheme are key components in how this horror story unfolds. When we shot the 'Losers' Club' segments, many shots were taken in well-lit areas. So, as the story progresses, when the final act occurs in the dark sewers, with the characters surrounded by shadows and moments of crisis, the audience's emotions are heightened to the peak."
Martin looked at Sofia and said, "As directors, even if we don't handle the post-production personally, we must have a set of standards in mind. During the post-production process, the film's color tone often changes according to the themes present in the movie. This kind of processing requires extensive communication between the director and the editor."
"Yes, while shooting this film, I used Dolby Cinema's HDR function. Not only does it capture brighter images than usual, but it also allows us to adjust the brightness of the film's images at any time during color grading while maintaining detail."
"Look here, when you are in this space, you can make the interior appear darker. Therefore, the overall brightness of the cinema projection will become very dim, but because of the HDR function's contrast, you can still see the details on a person's face, or the killer Pennywise's face, even at very low brightness levels. The result of such processing is that it makes the audience feel as if they are truly in that dark space."
"And there's the color of Pennywise's eyes. I made localized adjustments in every scene where Pennywise appears, making it convenient to use color correction to adjust the color of his eyes."
"These details are very important. Sometimes, these very subtle color changes can enrich the film's horror atmosphere and give the audience a greater sense of immersion."
"I quite like DaVinci Resolve software. Its interface is relatively straightforward and easy to operate..."
Sofia nodded repeatedly.
Her father couldn't teach her these things. Older directors weren't particularly familiar with these new tools.
Her father's usual method was to describe the effects he wanted to the editor and colorist and let them do the work. He only needed to see the results.
"That is also a method," Martin said. "I just have an overly strong desire for control, so I choose to do it myself. Moreover, I find doing it myself is more efficient."
...
The "Email" incident did not let Hillary off.
Although several people had died, the third wave of leaks still arrived.
This time, there were even supplementary audio files among the emails. Some were conversations between Hillary and Epstein. While they didn't involve "Lolita Island," they further confirmed the previously close relationship between the Clinton family and Epstein.
But another part of the content was even more terrifying.
This part consisted of emails Hillary sent to another woman. In them, Hillary intimately addressed the recipient as "Honey," and the conversation content was also very ambiguous, containing many inappropriate childish terms. [TL/N: It should be "Hanny", but i think it's more fitting to use the word "honey" here"
Was Hillary also a homosexual?
But that wasn't the scariest part. In the audio, Hillary also chatted about organizing spirit cooking parties and topics like sexually themed events and consuming children, expressing anticipation for the next gathering.
Could Hillary also be a "cannibal"?
The entire court of public opinion in North America was set ablaze!
Hillary's PR team immediately stepped out to deny the rumors, stating the audio was also forged, and that Hillary had already submitted all her hacked emails to Congress for review, and they contained no such content.
However, perhaps due to immense pressure, it was revealed by many that Hillary's mental state occasionally seemed abnormal after entering politics.
A former aide of Hillary's had nearly disclosed Hillary's corrupt personal life, including a past dependence on prescription drugs. Her doctor had advised her to reduce the dosage, but Hillary believed these drugs helped delay aging.
Furthermore, Nancy Clark, the White House floral design manager, once told the media she had witnessed Hillary running naked in the White House garden at dawn, stating that Hillary appeared abnormally excited at the time, not in a normal state of mind.
This series of explosive contents caused Hillary's popularity to skyrocket in notoriety while causing her support rate to plummet once again.
The American people did not want a pervert to become their President, so they would rather choose a fool.
Although Hillary's PR team strenuously denied the allegations, and the FBI investigation department also stated they had checked all of Hillary's hacked emails and found no such content, the voice and speech patterns in the audio strongly resembled Hillary's. Despite official denials, the public still believed it was Hillary.
Subsequently, Marina Abramović, this "Illuminati High Priestess," was exposed.
The US internet suddenly became flooded with information about this "Illuminati High Priestess," with vehement claims that she was the woman Hillary called "Honey" in the audio. This woman had indeed hosted multiple spirit cooking sessions and organized perverted events for the elite featuring blood-themed human-shaped cakes.
Some felt this woman was a red herring deliberately released by Hillary's side.
You say I'm a homosexual and a cannibal? Then I'll give you a target, perhaps a scapegoat.
After all, being a homosexual and making blood-themed cakes sounds better than "eating people"!
And since the scapegoat is set up without real evidence, rumors remain just rumors.
